Dick Cavett's Watergate offers a unique opportunity to mark the 40th anniversary of a defining moment in American history. From 1972 to 1974 the Watergate scandal unfolded on The Dick Cavett Show, as Cavett interviewed nearly every major Watergate figure, even non-political guests expressed their opinions. Dick Cavett's Watergate documents the scandal in the words of the people who lived it.

Cavett's unplanned series with Watergate participants added to by his comments brings the whole succession of incidents, political infighting and denials into the light. Although I lived through it I didn't thoroughly understand it till I saw this. The liars revealed themselves. Top notch history. Cavett shows himself a more astute journalist than he has ever been credited for.
